The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

Ya we can, I know a community fire will exist. Ill just toss my shit in the community ffire. Good idea. Got more caught up in kickin myself for forgetting than remedying the problem.

 

Frozen burritos in tin foil

 

Mike howd you know my cooler contents?

 

Don't forget about lean cuisines! I like the small personal pizzas the best .

 

Frozen food guy haha

 

I did not add guessets...not yet.

I will gusset the motor mounts from the frame though. As in the mounting points that the Bomb proof mounts bolt too.

Tranny one i don't think needs any more reinforcemnet.

That said, was a PITA to do those stupid motor mounts. WAY harder then i thought it would be. Didn't notice a big difference really either other then a much bigger shudder throughout the full body when starting off in 1st gear. Other then that feels the same too me mostly. Does grab a bit harder though.

So not sure its a thing you'd want to do to a DD truck. Id probably go back to stock if i was still DDin Frank. Even though i would hate to cause it just sucks to unbolt and bolt in new motor mounts..haha

 

Mt. Hood mounted and loaded. I do want to have a wind visor of some sort to break the wind a bit, the rack itself did not change any mileage. Tent on the rack I lost 1.5mpg.

 

Movement from the monte is normal..they are supposed to. That way you don't feel it. Otherwise it transfers the energy into the frame more.

Tranny is easy. 4 bolts on bottom of the mount and 4 on the tranny. Very easy to get to.

Motors.....not so much. Haha




Cody, rig looks great man! You take it offroading on a trail while you were out?

 

Thanks Monte! Unfortunately all of the OHV trails were closed in the location we visited.
Next time!

 

Cool man. Like how it's looking. Hopefully it's not toooo tippy offroad. Should be cool otherwise.

 

guess i'll just have to go LT

 

That..might not help...pretty sure it wouldn't too much..guess it depends on how you valved it tho

 

I don't plan on doing LT non the less, but I am excited to see how it does off road. Hopefully I won't pull a Monte.

 

HAHA yea..no way in hell your gonna even get a socket in there dude haha only normal wrenches. Sucks. Plus like 1/8 or less of a turn a go..very slow to do..I just tightened the piss out of mine. haha

and weird..mine is so easy to get too... yours is a 5 speed yes?

 

oh..


well get a damn wrench in there and tight it down..haha enough with this torque wrench business! Not that its not important..but some times...you just need to tighten the bolt..haha

 

haha....









yea not mine..haha

 

I think that bed rack over the cab set up you have is just outstanding. love the design. overall awesome build but especially love that rack. Would you mind if I copied the design for my truck?

 

Thanks man!

Even if i could stop you i wouldn't haha

Go for it man! Have had a few make bed racks similar to it. And really, i copied Allpro, they just never released their roof rack with their bed rack, so i built my own haha

 

well..technically lilbro copied it first haha hell i gave him dimensions and he then tweaked it to his liking.

then you bought one from him haha
